Scuttled at Erie after the War, the l lOft Niagara was raised and rebuilt in 1913. Plans now call for her to be restored to sailing condition by 1988. The brig (at 80 State St., Erie, PA 16507; 814 8714596) will remain open to the public during the course of her restoration which, it is hoped , will be recorded in its entirety on video . The two Niagaras are to be part of a proposed Great Lakes Maritime Museum to be built on the shores of Presque Isle Bay at Erie, Pennsylvania.
